OUR ALPENA LETTER.


Alpena has Il population OF nearly
1900, very cosmopolitan III its nature.
4 stranger would almost imagine he
was in Europe Immediately upon his
arrival The inhabitants consist of
French. German, Poles, Swedes, Nor
wegians. Jews. with a sprinklig Of
American, Canadian, Negro, Indian
and Cinnamon.
The chief industry is the manufac-
turc and sale OF lumber. which is RATED
down Thunder Bay river and cut up
by the thirteen splendid mills each of
which cut from 10000 to l0O,OuO feet
daily. There are also 2 foundries and
a pulp mill in operation.
I'm walking the streets one cannot
fail to notice the large number of one
armed. one-legged men the result of
accidents in these mills. Alpena can
boast Of the poorest streets, poorest
water and poorest electric light, of any
of the shore towns With the eXcep-
ton of about , miles cedar-block pave
ment. the streets are VillainOuS com
pound of sand and sawduSt. The elec-
tric light is Liable TO expire any NOM
ent. and the water is not fits for man or
beast TO drink. The city is growing
rapidly both in public and private
buildings. y new stone jail, brick fire
station, and new opera house are being
built this summer. The chief attrac-
ton on landing from the boats is the
mammoth new hotel, known as the
Churchill House, which covers a square.
The mercantile trade of the city is
mainly controlled by Americans with
the exception of the cigar and clothing
trade which Of course are manipulated
by the iuipressible Jew.
y faint idea OF their grasping pro
penSities may be cleaned from the fol
| lowing true incident. y prominent
Jewish merchant lost a wallet contain
ing $500. which was found by a friend
who shortly accOsted 4hbraham's de-
scendant to know if he had lost any
thing. Pressing his hand to his inside
pocket, Isaac sobbed forth 80 Great
Cot 80 Mine Cot go Mine Purse
Mine Purse" The friend at once re-
stored the money. when Isaac fervently
seized his hands in his and by way OF
recompense said: "Py Shimminy you
vas a bully vellah; you come down t.
mine cigar store while | shake de dice
nit you to see who buys de cigars.

THE CRISIS NEAR.

see the lines Pennington one
side the millions, on the other the
few who own millions. The few
will not yield up their special priv
lcges by which they enslaye the
many pcaceably, because they fondly
rely, rs did the shareholders OF
thirty years ago, on the fact that
that their position Is sustained by
the law. When the crisis comes
they will learn that there is a power
more potent than constitutions and
statute books. They will be taught
what many already know, "that the
highest crimes might be writ in the
highest law of the land"
The crisis is nearer than is dreamed
Of, and when it comes trust in that
power that is beyond constitutions,
viz: the people, inspired with
sense Of justice, to be equal to the
occasion, and 50 adjust the New
Order that no one will have more
than he needs, and then all will have
enough. H. {. BahiWin.

ATkINSON'S LATEST.
The "Winsted Press" Kicks Over a
Bucket of Sion.

Edward Atkinson's discovery that
the way to shorten u days work is to
do more work in an hour answers
very well as II mere theory, but the
man whose life brings him into ac-
tual contact with those things of
which Mr.. Atkinson so glibly talks
knows that there is an error in the
calculation. and when fact and theory
collide 1t is apparent to all except
perhaps the Atkinson stripe of men
that theory will get the worst of it.
The operative in factory, hired to
tend u machine ten hours u day
knows that the length of his days
work does not at all depend on the
intensity of his application; knows
that though he attended two ma
chimes instead o. one it would not
reduce the duration of his required
service by an hour or q minute.
The plece-work operative is not
much better off. He knows that if
by extra exertion he accomplishes
his ordinary task in half the ordi-
nary time his employer will conclude
that the pay for that work is excess
sive and will be likely to cut him
down to such rates that he can earn
only the ordinary pay by extraordin-
airy application kept up throughout
the entire day. Instances where
over ambitious workmen seeking to
shorten their hours of toll or increase
their wages by extra exertion have
succeeded i'll increasing the number
of hours of labor required to earn a
! given wage, will present themselves
TO almost every workman employed
where routine makes piece-work
practicable.
Nor is the case much different
| where the workman is his own EN-.

THE MARTYRS OF TO-DAY.

The Nihilists, accused OF the at
tempt to assassinatc the Gar, have
been condemned to terms of lmpris-
onmcnt which, according to high
Russian official, involves continuous
torture "many times worse than
death" 1t is impossible TO conceive
of u nobler band than these devoted
people, young men and young women
of good birth and good education.
who have deliberately sacrificed
themselves in order to put and end
to the most monstrous system of
tyranny on the earth. What state
of things must this be when the
very flower of the Russian popula-
ton is driven to resort to assasslna-
ton in order to get an outlet from
hideous oppression. For our part,
we heartily sympathize with the
Nihillsts in every way, and we hope
if we were in Russia we should have
the pluck to be Nihilists ourselves.
All we can do now is to convey to
them through our Russian comrades
in England our sincerest regret al
their condemnation. L0nd0n jus
